  • Corrupt Bargain" Charge Against Clay and Adams
    THE "CORRUPT BARGAIN" CHARGE AGAINST CLAY AND ADAMS: AN HISTORIOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS BY WILLIAM G. MORGAN Oral Roberts University Tulsa, Oklahoma The election of 1824 provided a substantial portion of the ground- work for the notable political changes which emerged from the some- what misnamed "Era of Good Feelings," while at the same time involv- ing several unusual political phenomena. A cardinal feature of this electoral struggle was the large number of prominent candidates. Early in the contest the serious contenders totaled as many as "16 or 17," in- cluding William H. Crawford, Secretary of the Treasury; John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State; Henry Clay, long-time Speaker of the House; John C. Calhoun, Secretary of War; Smith Thompson, Secretary of the Navy; Vice-President Daniel D. Tompkins; Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York; Representative William Lowndes of South Carolina; and a comparative latecomer to politics, General Andrew Jackson] As the campaign progressed, several of these men dropped from conten- tion: Lowndes died in 1822, while Thompson, Tompkins, and Clinton fell from the ranks for lack of support, though there was mention of the latter's possible candidacy late in 1823.2 Calhoun subsequently withdrew from the race, deciding to delay his bid for the presidency to accept the second office.8 Of the prominent contenders remaining in the contest, Crawford was the administration favorite, and his position as Treasury Secretary had enabled him to build a significant following in various circles.4 Despite these advantages, Crawford's success proved illusory: among other difficulties, the Georgian suffered a severe stroke in the summer of 1823 and was the victim of the growing antagonism toward the caucus, the very insti- nation on which he was relying to bring him broad party support.5 Adams, Clay, and Jackson fought actively to secure an electoral majority or, failing that, to gain sufficient votes to be included in the top three who would be presented to the House of Representatives for the final decision.

  • President-Elect in Springfield (1860-1861)
    Chapter Seventeen “I Will Suffer Death Before I Will Consent to Any Concession or Compromise”: President-elect in Springfield (1860-1861) During the four months separating his election from his inauguration, Lincoln faced the daunting challenge of Southern secession. Though he would not officially take power until March 1861, his party looked to him for guidance. Like most Republicans, he was startled when the Cotton States made good their supposedly idle threats to withdraw from the Union.1 Should they be allowed to go in peace? Should they be forcibly resisted? Should they be conciliated or appeased? What compromise measures might preserve national unity without sacrificing the party’s principles? Radicals like Zachariah Chandler believed “all will be well” if Lincoln would only “‘Stand like an Anvil when the sparks fall thick & fast, a fiery shower,’” but some Republicans feared that he would not do so.2 A few days after the election, Charles Francis Adams viewed Southern threats to secede as a means “to frighten Mr Lincoln at the outset, and to compel him to declare himself in opposition to the principles of the party that has elected him.” Adams confessed that the awaited the president-elect’s 1 David M.

  • The Emergence of Viva Voce Voting in House Speakership Elections
    House Speakership Elections 481 JEFFERY A. JENKINS Northwestern University CHARLES STEWART III Massachusetts Institute of Technology Out in the Open: The Emergence of Viva Voce Voting in House Speakership Elections We examine the internal politics that preceded the House adoption in 1839 of viva voce (voice) voting for Speaker and other House officers. First, we find that the struggles over the rule’s adoption actually centered on the election of the House Printer. These struggles were tied to attempts by the two major parties to establish effective newspaper networks to assist in national political campaigns. Democrats generally favored public election of House officers, whereas Whigs generally opposed. In the short term, the change to public voting for Speaker and other House officers had the expected effect of instilling greater partisan regularity among House members. As sectional divisions grew in the nation at large, however, the public election of the Speaker made it increasingly difficult for House leaders to forge the transregional coalitions necessary to organize the House. Introduction Antebellum American politics is noted for two conflicting impulses. The first was regional; competing sectional economic interests put the nation’s political stability at risk. The second was party; political leaders tried to neutralize the first, by constructing common, transregional political institutions and practices centered on a new form of political organization, the national political party. These conflicting impulses were most often pitted against each other in Congress, particularly the House of Representatives. In this article, we examine one of the most important occasions for this conflict in antebellum America—election of the Speaker.

  • The Samuel Richey Collection of the Southern Confederacy 1805-1915
    Walter Havighurst Special Collections Miami University Libraries The Samuel Richey Collection of the Southern Confederacy 1805-1915 OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION Title: The Samuel Richey Collection of the Southern Confederacy Creators: Sutton C. Richey and Samuel W. Richey Dates: 1805-1915 Media: Correspondence, manuscript documents, printed material, photographs, framed items Quantity: 4 cubic feet Location: Closed stacks COLLECTION SUMMARY This collection includes over 500 pieces of correspondence relating to Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, and Confederate generals, including G.T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, Samuel Cooper, Joseph E. Johnson, Robert E. Lee, James A. Seddon, E. Kirby Smith, Richard Taylor, and William H. Thomas, among other noted figures of the Civil War and the mid- to late-19th century. Correspondence of Varina Davis, Mary Randolph Custis Lee, and Mary Custis Lee, together with some photographs and other pieces of ephemera, can also be found in the collection. PROVENANCE OF THE COLLECTION This collection was begun by Sutton C. Richey (1837-1900). After studying Miami University in 1854 and 1855, Richey worked as a druggist in Oxford, Ohio from 1857 to 1891. Richey also served as treasurer of Miami University (1869-1900) and the Village of Oxford (1874-1900). 2 Admiration for Robert E. Lee as a leader, educator and gentleman inspired Sutton Richey’s son, Samuel W. Richey (1874-1973), to become interested in Jefferson Davis and collect documents relating to his career. An 1894 graduate of Miami University, Samuel Richey worked as a Cincinnati lumber broker. The majority of this collection was donated to Miami University in 1960; other items were acquired more recently as a result of an endowment that provides funds to purchase important items complementing the contents of the original collection.
